The dice cannot see its dots.
Bijaz
This quote is from Frank Herbert (Dune Messiah). It is a metaphor of how people can be used as tools, and ignore they are being used. Even the most clever and self-aware person can fall into traps of being an instrument in someone else's plans. A powerful instrument, sometimes unpredictable, and thus dangerous in its hazardous behavior for the whole scheme - but sometimes necessary.
